| | C H A R A C T E R . P R O F I L E S | |Main CharacterAOI TACHIBANAAge: 16Likes: GamingDislikes: ButterfliesBio: A spunky teenager who's not afraid to speak her mind and give out one or two of her explosive punches. Upon Kai asking her if she was his mom, she has taken authority over the position quite vehemently. She dotes on Kai and constantly argues with Shouta. She lives comfortably with her parents in an apartment close to the Vanille Cafe.Quote: "Mega-ultimate-hyperactive-wonderfully-cute-student-who's-not-a-kidnapper-ATTACK!!!!" pg. 14

Main Character#2SHOUTA AIDAAge: 17Likes: NappingDislikes: WomenBio: Shouta has been working at the Vanille Cafe since its opening, two years ago. He is close friends with the owner, Mitch, and has been given some manager rights. He argues constantly with Aoi and dislikes how everyone seems to dote on Kai.Quote: "You're not his mom!" pg. 03

Main Character #3KAIAge: 16Likes: Eating SweetsDislikes: Not Eating SweetsBio: Kai, though short, is actually in high school. Aoi dotes on him after he asked her if she was his mom while trying to recruit new workers to the Vanille Cafe. Apparently, to him, a new coworker would be the same as his mom who would clean up after him since Shouta keeps complaining on how Kai keeps leaving candy wrappers everywhere. Quote: "Um excuse me...Are you my mom?" pg. 01

ClassmateYUU SATOUAge: 16Likes: PhotographyDislikes: GuitaristsBio: Yuu and Aoi are best friends, basically since they were fetuses. Their mothers passed their friendship onto their daughters and they grew up together until middle school, when Yuu's family moved to the other side of the city. They managed to stay close and attend middle school and high school together. Yuu knows all of Aoi's secrets and finds her claiming to be Kai's mom quite interesting--as well as Aoi's romantic situation, which she makes it her duty to regularly interfere with.Quote: "Seriously Aoi, you're too deadly for us." pg. 14

ClassmateDANIEL RINEHARTAge: 17Likes: PuppiesDislikes: FlowersBio: Daniel moved to Japan from the US when he was twelve years old. He attended a private international boy's school, Casanova High, but switched to Aoi and Yuu's high school just this year. Eventually, he befriends the girls and develops a crush on Aoi. Yuu constantly teases him and puts him in awkward situations with Aoi, saying it'll help his love life in the long run.Quote: "I'm not a princess!" pg.17

Vanille Cafe ChefSATOSHIAge: 20Likes: BakingDislikes: Making SandwichesBio: Despite being only 20, Satoshi was able to become the primary chef at the Vanille Cafe. He has a very bright attitude, is caring, and thoughtful but sometimes goofs up and makes mistakes. He's laid back and enjoys living life day by day. However, he did not have that perspective of life when he was younger, specifically during middle school where he and Alice met. Quote: "As your senpai, I'll make sure not to repeat my mistakes!" Pg.31

Vanille Cafe EmployeeALICEAge: 20Likes: BunniesDislikes: Getting LostBio: Reliable, modest, and smart, Alice has become the backbone of the Vanille Cafe. Her main job at the cafe is to assist Shouta, who is basically the assistant manager, but sometimes shoulders other jobs at the same time depending on the availability of their part-timers, meaning she's also a cashier, cook, and waitress. She is very curious by nature and sometimes gets lost accidentally. She has been friends with Satoshi for a while and seems to have feelings for him.Quote: "Don't worry Shouta! I'll be here too..." Pg.31

Its a really cool manga, but wasn't Kai a lil kid that Aoi Tachibana thought as her own child? o.O

He does look like a little kid but he's actually the same age as Aoi. He hasn't had his growth spurt yet so he still little and always misleads people about his age. And Aoi, obsessed by his "cuteness" becomes his mom. She's an only child so having a little brother, or a son, excites her.
